Today I got up early and hit the gym for cardio and stretching. I did a 24 minute PACE session on the treadmill. In addition to upping the incline, I increased the speed for my sprints to 9.0 mph. I had the following intervals:
1 minute – Warm up
3 minutes – 9.0 mph
2 minutes – 3.0 mph
2 minutes – 9.0 mph
2 minutes – 3.0 mph
1 minute – 9.0 mph
2 minutes – 3.0 mph
1 minute – 9.0 mph
2 minutes – 3.0 mph
2 minutes – 9.0 mph
2 minutes – 3.0 mph
2 minutes – 9.0 mph
2 minutes – 3.0 mph
The final 2 sets at 2 minutes at 9.0 mph were extremely tough and I was ready to collapse. It was a pretty amazing PACE workout.
I also did upper body stretching today. I've recently found that stretching on a regular basis (ie. having it as part of your program) is extremely important and beneficial to your program.
I spent the rest of the day just out having a good time. It was an extremely enjoyable time.
Tomorrow is the third and final podcast installment of Total Immersion. This final installment discusses nutrition and Total Immersion.
